IELTS practice (essay) Evaluating of the study process in school has been a milestone of the educational system in the vast amount of countries for the decades and even centuries. Some feel that testing and other tools of tracking the learning process brings more harm for the students then benefits. However, I agree with those who claim that examinations are advantageous for the evrymember of the educational chain. In this essay, I will examine both sides and give my opinion. Regarding those who feel that examination is discouraging, there are many reasons. The most common one is that the evaluating system has a lot of errors and flaws, which make it unfair towards pupils. For example, one person may be good and well prepared, but not very skilled in taking tests. On the other hand, student can be lazy, but very professional in tackling the answers on the paper. Sadly, the second one, probably, will show better results during the examination. Secondly, the tests engage people in competition that, sometimes, is not appropriate and encouraging. Stanford published a study in 2013 that found that 30% of the middle school students feel depressed because of the rating systems based on the exams scores of the every student. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that these disadvantages are ludicrous. The obvious reason is that evaluation helps students to track their learning progress and, thus, to be more consistent. For instance, people which are just listeners in the courses are less motivated and organized versus those who enrolled in the studying process and has clear, concise, and measurable objectives, which are revised by the teacher. In contrast to the mentioned above Stanford study, recent Harvard research assumes that fair competition has positive impact on the education – 90% of the CEOs from 500 Fortune companies proved this thesis in the study. In sum, both opinions have a right to exist and to influence each other. I hope that, soon, evaluation system will be upgraded, and benefits from it only increase.

Small story (vocab practice) Love affection advantageously differs healthy relationships from sick ones. Sometimes I think Cupid is a professional arsonist of our hearts. Here is a story of Ann and Alex. In the ostentatiously decorated hall were noisy and busy. Fancy people were walking along the tables with sophisticated delicatessen and chatting aloud until she bob in - bombshell with expensive purse. At that very moment Alex stood frozen. "She is compelling."- he thought. "And I look like an idiot - disheveled and unshaven. Ultimate dire idiot!" - Alex cursed himself without any shadow of pity. In the corner of the ballroom stood Sarah, anxiously trying to calm down herself. She was thinking that if Ann approach her, they could not escape encounter - they were known rivals in the the casta of wealthy, famous, and miraculously beautiful unmarried women. Both ladies used to exude themselves and make the publicity hive talk about. At the same time Ann and Sarah were complete counterpart.
